Expand/CollapseARRANGEMENT

These volumes were numbered sequentially by the court administrator for microfilming purposes. The original volume letter or number identifications added in brackets were found on interior pages or were deduced from internal evidence. It appears that estate, guardianship, and mental illness/insanity cases were numbered in separate sequences. Hence, case numbers have not been connected with specific volumes. The volumes are dated by the filing date of the inclusive cases. In most cases dates extend substantially beyond the latest filing date.
